The upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory requires precise wavefront stability over long observation periods to directly image Exo-Earths of interest, which are 10 orders of magnitude dimmer than their host star. Dark zone maintenance (DZM) has been proposed as a focal plane high-order wavefront sensing and control (HO...

Planetary Imaging Coronagraph Testbed Using a Recoverable Experiment for Debris Disks (PICTURE-D) is a NASA high-altitude balloon mission to directly image exoplanetary systems with the goal of characterizing the inner debris disks of several nearby stars in reflected visible light. The observatory performed its first...

We introduce the NASA-funded mission STARI (STarlight Acquisition and Reflection toward Interferometry), a two-spacecraft technology demonstrator for future long-baseline interferometers. STARI will perform, to our knowledge, the first in-space transfer of starlight between free-flying spacecraft, a critical step towar...
